This makes good sense.. I have gotten to where I ONLY make ONE false cast
ever,(well, NEVER say NEVER or EVER LOL) and that is to dry a dry fly before
making the actual casts, cause I noticed my false casts WAS spooking fish,

"False casting for practice is the best way to achieve the feel of the
line in the air, but in actual fishing, false casts should be limited in
number to absolute necessity. In the first place, the more false casts you
make, the greater are the chances for the fish to see your arm waving, or
the line in the air. And the greater are your chances to make a mistake in
the cast and lose your timing. Most anglers, especially tyros, false cast
too often. Three false casts should be sufficient for any throw and two is
better. One is perfect.." What the hell is a TYRO?
